2011 Activity Calendar
There are lots of activities at Mountain Stream. At Easter (when Easter falls in April), there's Easter egg coloring and Easter egg hunts, the Mountain Stream Duck Race on Labor Day weekend, pumpkin decorating contest and trick-or-treating at Halloween, and for the season finale, there's a big covered dish dinner on Thanksgiving Day.
But the special activities are not limited to just holidays. There are also ice cream socials, scavenger hunts, chili cook-offs and weenie roasts. So come and join us for the fun!
Please keep checking this page periodically for changes. We're always working on lining up additional activities and will update the schedule as things develop.
